If not, perhaps you can see if the computer can detect the reader as a drive and format it? (Check with others to see if formatting through the computer is advisable from others. I've never tried it before)
I have tried connecting it to my PC both right after I turn the power switch on and after pushing the reset button on the back and before I press the power switch but no luck. Nothing different. I get the Start Up screen and a solid orange light. No USB connected screen. Windows does not see it as a device or removable drive so there is nothing to format. I think the next thing to do is go in the backyard in the dead of night and dig a hole ... maybe have someone over to say a few kind words ... and drown my sorrows in old wine.
